Installing a CON FORMS Air Cuff and pumping concrete with the 38 meter boom pump

[@mikedalton4697]

I like the camera on the boom. Nice touch

[@MuddyfeetConcretePumping]

👍👊

I'm looking forward to Bill's reaction. I love having the air cuff. On one of the booms I installed one on, I had to run air line down the boom. Looked and worked ok in the end.

[@MuddyfeetConcretePumping]

I think he’s going to like it. It does have a learning curve. Did you run steel line or rubber? How did you attach it to the boom?

[@dannpriebe]

@MuddyfeetConcretePumping I ran rubber. On the 1st 3 sections I zapped to the hydraulic lines. On the 4th I used the pipe brackets and made it as straight as possible.

The main takeaway from this video: Canadians have smaller hoses!!!

[@MuddyfeetConcretePumping]

I wondered if anyone was going to pick up on that. 🤣🤣🤣

[@robertswain370]

Canadians have smaller hoses there not as strong as the Texans

[@chebarden8278]

Haha....just what I thought ...

This message isn't in reference to this video. Jeff, you've responded to some compliments/comments about something I heard or saw in your video(s). Well I've got sort of a different 1 for you. There's a guy that works for A J's Concrete Pumping who had some good things to say about you & congratulated you on your latest high level of KZbin subscribers. He also thanked you for being the person who got him interested in becoming a concrete pumper himself. You & him both speak from a position of experience, it's easy to tell when you guys are talking in the videos while you're working. Congratulations on your latest highest level of subscribers. Always great content & keep up the great work!!!!!

[@MuddyfeetConcretePumping]

Thank you!

Good to see you back on your boom luv from Australia

[@MuddyfeetConcretePumping]

Thanks man! Pretty cool to see guys watching for Australia

[@ianbrown5282]

Awesome videos. It’s just awesome to see how folks place concrete in different places 👍🍻

[@stevenclaeys6252]

Thank you for another great video ! Cheers

Over here in Dublin IRELAND the weather has been Bad for this time of year we are still wearing Hoodies and jackets and it's almost the middle of June hopefully the weather gets better soon because I'm sick of all this wet and cold weather and I need to start working on getting a Tan because it's been a long winter and I'm as white as a Ghost 👻👻

[@MuddyfeetConcretePumping]

🤣🤣we are finally getting some sun here. Hopefully will start getting some jobs pushed out.

[@bradleym.2008]

Cool video, excited to get yalls opinion with the cuff

[@MuddyfeetConcretePumping]

👍

[@chebarden8278]

Just ordered an aircuff kit, think i will go with a manually open and close will see if my auto electrician can set it up on my remote.

[@MuddyfeetConcretePumping]

Who’s your pump manufacturer?

[@codyx22]

@@chebarden8278 What year is your schwing? We just got a couple 2017s that didn't come with air cuffs but if you have the air cuff switch on your remote schwing will send you a tablet to turn it on. Then you just have to find a few wires that aren't plugged into each other and connect them for the remote to work.

[@HighTQCummins]

that second to last elbow on the tip section caught my eye. HD 130 bar? is the boom system on that truck HD or metric ends? if metric, how are you getting that elbow to work on there?

[@MuddyfeetConcretePumping]

It’s metric. It is a different elbow. We got it from CPS. It has putzmiester stamped on it.

[@mikegray2357]

Hey Jeff love your videos! I got a question if u don't mind. I just recently started a small line pumping buisness I run a little reinert p530. We had 200' of hose out on a job 150' of 2.5" then reduced down to 2". The machine was pushing a little over 100 bar. Is that a safe pressure range for that situation because I blew a hydrolic hose coming from my accumulater. Do you think maby it was just a worn out hose? Thanks for any answers you could give.

[@MuddyfeetConcretePumping]

I think the hose was probably bad. 90-100 bar is pretty common pressure to work with.

[@mikegray2357]

Alright that's what I was thinking just wanted to get a veteran's opinion lol thanks brother

[@kolbimorgan2354]

Are you replacing your old 40m with another pump?

[@MuddyfeetTV]

We sold the 40m March of 2023. At the moment we haven’t decided when we will replace it. Still watching what our economy is doing. We hope to have a new pump in here this next spring but it might be to replace this 38m and just stick with one boom pump.

[@codyx22]

I would not run it off a timer with the pump switch because certain mixes will plug pretty fast with an aircuff because the water will run thru the air cuff. It's not much of an issue but you have to be able to turn off the air cuff and shake the hose. Depending on what you have for spare switches on your remote we've gone thru the engine shutoff switch or run it with the horn switch. I don't know exactly how you wired this but I use stepping relays and go off the battery that way when you have to move the truck and take it out of pto the air cuff will stay on.

[@MuddyfeetConcretePumping]

Yes it’s on a timer switch. Right now it’s set between 4-5 seconds delay on the switch.

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

That's a brilliant idea wiring it off the battery like you did!!! I've never liked that the cuff automatically deflates when the truck is switched out of PTO or the engine kill is inadvertently bumped (don't ask me how I learned this) 🤣🤣🤣

[@tucobenedicto109]

Nothing runs like a deere! reguardless if the concrete mixer is ugly or has smiley faces, they all are simple machines and all have an Archimedes Screw!

[@MuddyfeetConcretePumping]

I love the one we got.

[@InvincibleAndroid]

Can I come and work for you Im from Australia 😆

[@MuddyfeetConcretePumping]

I currently don’t have any openings but there are some companies around here that are hiring.

[@chebarden8278]

@MuddyfeetConcretePumping .....aussie humour ....so much work over here ... not enough pumps at present so the rates have sky-rocketed

[@dannpriebe]

You forgot to put bentonite in the prime port.

[@MuddyfeetConcretePumping]

You think of everything!!!

[@dannpriebe]

@@MuddyfeetConcretePumping I was saying that for Scott. I prime just like you did. 😆
